They were one of the types of JOTUN that Mack used to host his consciousness after his data center had been destroyed.[1]

The series 5 Gondolas collect crops from the rear of the machine. It is powered by a three thousand horsepower ethanol-electric engine. Mack used machines of this series to host himself after the destruction of his data center.[1]

The EM-240 Neides auger is a heavy-duty, durable, mining machine that has offers nearly unsurpassed productivity to colonial resource-extraction operations. Using the latest in solid-state laser technologies, the Neides excels at yielding higher drilling efficiencies and reducing the risk for operational errors.[4]

The JOTUN Arilus is a popular utility truck that can be fitted with a large number of specialized tool attachments. Many Arilus trucks used on Meridian are fitted with special-purpose glass-boring drills designed to bore into the vitrified soil on glassed colony worlds.[4]
